Landscape Architect:Windrose

Successive design studies were done while going through a complex Master Use Process with the City of Seattle. Ultimately, zoning was approved for two floating homes, renovation of the residence, two garage/studio buildings and associated moorage.

The design approach was to give each structure a unique identity while complementing each other through a unified materials palette.
